---|
| 231 | |
---|
| 232 | * Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the |
---|
| 233 | MB_CAPABLE macro. Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented. |
---|
| 234 | |
---|
| 235 | * Reduced code size for libm modules. |
---|
| 236 | |

---|
| 240 | |
---|
| 241 | * Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and |
---|
| 242 | signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems, |
---|
| 243 | which already provide access to signal. The signal functionality provided |
---|
| 244 | does not interact with hardware generated signals. |
---|
| 245 | |
---|
| 246 | * Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c. |
---|
| 247 | |
---|
| 248 | * Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct |
---|
| 249 | _reent. These are no longer necessary since there are now functions |
---|
| 250 | that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r, |
---|
| 251 | gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r). |
---|
| 252 | |
---|
| 253 | |
---|
| 254 | *** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0: |
---|
| 255 | |
---|
| 256 | * Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level |
---|
| 257 | build directory. |
---|
| 258 | |
---|
| 259 | Old way: build |
---|
| 260 | /newlib |
---|
| 261 | /m68020 |
---|
| 262 | /m68881 |
---|
| 263 | New way: |
---|
| 264 | build |
---|
| 265 | /m68k-coff |
---|
| 266 | /m68020 |
---|
| 267 | /m68881 |
---|
| 268 | |
---|
| 269 | where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories |
---|
| 270 | |
---|
| 271 | * m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions |
---|
| 272 | of the libraries. |
---|
| 273 | |
---|
| 274 | --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float |
---|
| 275 | --disable-m68881 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881 |
---|
| 276 | --disable-m68000 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000 |
---|
| 277 | --disable-m68020 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020 |
---|
| 278 | |
---|
| 279 | These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default |
---|
| 280 | is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent. |
---|
| 281 | |
---|
| 282 | * Reentrancy support in libm removed. |
---|
| 283 | |
---|
| 284 | * strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf |
---|
| 285 | replaced with NetBSD versions. |
---|
| 286 | |
---|
| 287 | * Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added. |
---|
| 288 | |
---|
| 289 | * unctrl added. |
---|
| 290 | |
---|
| 291 | * dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com) |
---|
| 292 | |
---|
| 293 | * Various bug fixes. |
---|
| 294 | |
---|
| 295 | *** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1: |
---|
| 296 | |
---|
| 297 | * Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r, |
---|
| 298 | and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c. |
---|
| 299 | |
---|
| 300 | * Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions. |
---|
